To resolve this issue, reactivate the Terminal Services license server.
Note : The automatic reactivation method requires Internet connectivity from the computer running the TS Licensing Manager tool. Internet connectivity is not required from the license server itself. This method uses TCP/IP (TCP port 443) to connect directly to the Microsoft Clearinghouse. You can also reactivate the license server by using a Web browser or by using the telephone.

  1. On the license server, open TS Licensing Manager. To open TS Licensing Manager, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, point to Terminal Services, and then click TS Licensing Manager.
  2. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
  3. Ensure that the connection method for the license server is set to Automatic connection (recommended) by right-clicking the license server that you want to reactivate, and then clicking Properties. On the Connection Method tab, change the connection method if necessary, and then click OK.
  4. Right-click the license server that you want to reactivate, point to Advanced, and then click Reactivate Server. The Reactivate Server Wizard starts.
  5. On the Welcome page, click Next.
  6. On the Information Needed page, provide the requested information, including the reason for the reactivation, and then click Next.
  7. Your request to reactivate the license server is sent to the Microsoft Clearinghouse for processing, and the license server is reactivated.
